George Keith (1638/9 – 1716) was an outspoken Quaker missionary (and later, an Anglican priest), best-known for a sermon given at a Monthly Meeting in Philadelphia in 1693, "An Exhortation & Caution to Friends Concerning Buying or Keeping of Negroes."[1] Keith was George Wythe's great-grandfather.
Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
In his biographical sketch of Wythe for the Virginia Reports (1833), Daniel Call mentions seeing a "folio volume" written by Keith in Wythe's library, containing "mathematical and other subjects."[2] The volume may have contained one or more of Keith's essays on Quakerism, but his only "mathematical" writings were "Geography and Navigation Compleated," and "An Essay for the Discovery of Some New Geometrical Problems" (1697), and its supplement.
